Last week, we asked you witty Flicksters a question over on our competitions page: “If you were allowed to crash a giant truck into any one thing, what thing would that be?” Our five favourite answers scored themselves a double pass to Snitch, which comes out in NZ Thursday, May 16th. Some of the answers ... Read on.
A few months ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing the Kiwi film Mt Zion. It was a pleasure for two reasons: 1) It’s a genuinely great film, let alone a great Maori film. 2) I was incredibly relieved that... Read on.
I have only two passions in this world: good cinema and quality curry. But as much as I’d like these two universes to work, there is simply no way to enjoy a rogan josh, a tikka masala or a vegetable korma in the theatre. I... Read on.
I have a friend called Pirate Bay Pete. He’s a cool enough guy who loves his movies. We’d often spend hours on end exhausting our geek knowledge on films we loved, though his talkative enthusiasm and whimsy ignorance once caused him to drop a spoiler to a film I hadn’t seen yet. I then used ... Read on.
Since my time here with Flicks, I’ve presented myself as being a lot of things: a feminist, a cyborg, a romantic who has never actually romanced. However, I’ve never been so pitifully spiteful over anyone or any f... Read on.
My dearest Die Hard, I’m writing you this letter because I loved you. However, I cannot help but feel that we’ve grown apart over the years. I’ve been patient and I’ve tried to hold on to hope, but after what recently... Read on.
I’ve pointed out many times that I’m not much of a novel reader. “What!? But you’re like a writer ‘n’ shit!” my friends often respond with. I suppose I can call myself a writer, but I wouldn’t call myself a quality writer in many senses. Thus, I pollute my articles with colourful stick-figure people in ... Read on.
I have never cried during a film. It’s a part of me that I’m really not all that proud of. In fact, I kind of consider myself to be a monster, despite not being all that scary or a fan of Lady Gaga. In a screening of Les ... Read on.
I went to see Life of Pi 3D for a second time the other night. I was so excited; I had been salivating over that film since the first time it amazed my balls. A couple of mates of mine booked four seats for the middle of the ... Read on.
Virginity is an interesting subject to me and one that hasn’t seen a huge prominence in mainstream cinema. It’s usually an element played on the side, whether it’s seeing the loner kid from Chronicle finally get some action or Wes Craven pointing out how the virgin never dies. As a dude who has had to ...

With The Twilight Saga finally having reached its conclusion with Breaking Dawn Part Two, Liam, Dom and Rose sat down to have a chit chat about the tween-tastic capper to the fantasy series. There’s spoilers ahead, so r... Read on.
I recently attended a flat party with a dress theme: Dead and Famous. I didn’t want to spend much time, money or effort on a costume. So I found some pants suspenders, clipped them on to a torso-sized piece of cardboard, bl... Read on.
